Swimsuits & Burkini Styles

The evolution of a NS Tasarım swimsuit, from inception to delivery, is a complex nine-month process. The journey takes us from the NS Tasarım studios in İstanbul, to the fabric mills in Turkey, all the way to a family run factory in Istanbul. The creative process, along with the rigorous craftsmanship that goes into designing and producing each NS Tasarım swimsuit, is something in which we take immense pride.

Each year is also the time that our designers showcase their proposed new designs to our design, production and sampling teams. The creative process starts with extensive research - our designers  are constantly on the lookout for inspiration, whether that is through reviewing vintage magazines and books to analyse the construct of classical swimwear and exploring vivid market places all over the world to incorporate different philosophies into our designs. The next step is to build large mood boards displaying imagery that illustrates the personality that our designers are trying to capture in the products.

Our ambition at NS Tasarım has always been to use only the finest swimwear fabrics in the world. Unlike many other swimwear brands, we oversee each stage of preparing the fabric. Whilst our research and design teams are in the midst of the creative process, our fabric team’s journey is underway, sourcing from Italian mills and developing custom fabrics with our Tukey suppliers.

We start with the choice of raw materials. The critical ingredient to ensure optimum comfort and durability in a modest swimsuit is the elastomer. In our brand NS Tasarım, we use the finest patented elastomeric fibres available in the market - these fibres offer high quality protection from UV rays, four times the protection provided by high SPF suncreens. Additionally, our swimsuits (or as some may call them, Burkinis) incorporate beachwear fabrics which, thanks to their innovative construction, are sand resistant. We ensure that our swimwear fabric colours maintain their intensity and clarity over time. Every new colour added to our collection is tested to assure the highest colour fade resistance when the fabrics are exposed to light, repeated washings, sea and chlorinated water, in compliance with a lot of certifications. Finally, our swimwear fabrics are exposed to vigorous physical and visual testing before being authorised for use by our fabric team.
